It is the site of a large mission founded in 1900 by the London Missionary Society. In 1915 the mission established Mbereshi Girls' School, the first girls' school in the territory, as well as a boys' school and a large hospital. The Girls school and Hospital are now Grant Aided institutions run by The United Church of Zambia. Mbereshi contains a number of examples of mission buildings, including a large church which is now part of the United Church of Zambia.Bwalya Chuba: "Mbeleshi in a history of the London Missionary Society".
